Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist

I confess, when it comes to styling my hair, I am a sinner. For as long as I can remember I put my hair through the daily challenges of blow drying and straightening. I cringe when I think about it. What makes it worse if that I've often forgot to protect my hair, usually because I hate the feel of products on my hair. A good lecture from my friend telling me all about the consequences of heat damage on your hair and I was soon perusing around Boots seeing what I might like.

 

Heat is a crucial part of my routine, and one that I am not willing to miss out. So, I decided to head to my favourite hair brand range, Lee Stafford. I picked up the Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist, I thought this would suit me seeing as straight hair is my signature hairstyle.

 

 

When it comes to hair care brands I don't believe you necessarily need to spend a fortune to find a good, effective product. Obviously the professionals may say different as I am not hairdresser, but from trying a huge range of products they all near enough do the same job.

 

For a reasonable price of £5.99 this protection mist lives up to my expectations. Firstly, I feel like it is protecting my hair as compared to other brands it does leave my hair feeling silky and soft without a residue or sticky feeling. Another bonus is that it  leaves my hair straighter for longer, especially in humid conditions where my hair begins to kink.

 

 

As far as heat defence sprays go this is definitely top of my list. This isn't a miracle product that has changed my hair dramatically, but it does what it sets out to do. Remember it's a protectant not a cure. A simple spritz onto damp hair is the only added step needed in your regime to create silky, undamaged hair.

 

 

That's all I can really say on a heat protectant, but I've been happy with the results so far and I promise to use it every day from now on. Now the thought of using heat as high as 200 degrees makes me shudder.
 

Do you always make sure you protect your locks from heat damage?

Lee Stafford's Hair Miracle

I'm sure many of you have looked in to the mirror and been horrified at the results of your latest haircut. This happened to me a few weeks ago, I asked for a good tidy to get rid of my dead ends. I wasn't expecting so much hair to be cut off in fairness, so I started searching the internet for products to help me get the much loved long locks back.

I stumbled across the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment. I'd tried a few other products from the brand a while back and was impressed with them so thought I'd give this a go.

Luckily I got the last pot on the shelf, which just reinforced the idea to me that this product must work - that's what I was desperately hoping for anyway! I purchased the treatment from Boots for £6.99, it's a 200ml tub. I thought this was an affordable price for a treatment. When I read the instructions I was a little worried that this product wouldn't last very long as it advises you to use an egg-sized scoop each time you use it. A few weeks in and I'm still using mine so there's no need to be put off.

The treatment is described as a "gorgeous, thick intensive treatment with Pro-Growth™ complex gives your hair strength from within by fertilising your follicles, creating a healthy environment on your scalp to help hair grow faster and reach its maximum potential length. Its soothing formulation reduces irritation and moisturises the scalp, helping to keep it healthy and improving the volume and feel of your hair". It is recommended that the product is used between shampoo and conditioner (there is also a hair growth shampoo and conditioner available in the range).

The product is very easy to use, you scoop and egg sized amount out of the pot and then massage into your hair and scalp. Once complete, you leave it to work its magic on your hair for 5 minutes before rinsing out. It is as simple as that, the only tip I would give it that because this product is quite thick you might want to use it every other wash instead of every wash. Also, if not rinsed out properly this product can leave a residue, I find washing it out with cold(ish) water helps to remove it better, and leaves your hair shiny.

This cream like treatment smells absolutely divine, and something which I'd never experienced before, is that the smell lingers on your hair - even when straightened! First time ever I actually received comments about the smell of my hair.

After the first use I noticed an improvement in my hair. Now, three weeks on, I am very happy with the condition of my hair, it is shiny, bouncy and soft. My hair looks as nice as when I had it cut, it's helped to stop split ends developing.

The question I'm sure you're all dying to know is has it helped make my hair grow faster? Yes, obviously it's not grown three inches over night, however it is growing faster than it usually does as my fringe now keeps falling into my eyes, before it didn't. This product works on the basis of improving your hair condition so it's healthier which in turn makes it grow more.

For optimum results you need to use this product regularly, which can sometimes seem like a bit of a chore, however if you're willing to do so the results will be worth it. To me without the hair growth aspect, it is a very good hair treatment.

Project healthy hair is well and truly underway!
